I have “professional snacker”’ in my bio and need to start showing the receipts. These were cheesecake cherry cookies. My kids were not impressed, but my neighbors loved them! #Writersnacks #snacktime

Hey #Writesky you know what impresses the hell out of me? Like knocks my socks off. Is when you receive rejections and just keep going.

This gave me the inspo for my MC’s cutthroat world. Copeland described how employees ranked each other via virtual baseball cards in a corporate hunger games. The lone woman exec was called the ice queen and unfairly terminated. In my book, I was determined to to give the “ice queen” a better end.

I just watched season 19 of Project Runway (I’m behind, I know) and I always learn so much from this show that applies to my writing 🧵…

I read an agent’s #MSWL that they wanted a #werewolf YA. Wow! Are we still into this in 2025? If so, I’m keen to write one with some killer social commentary. I would love to take down predatory billionaires and werewolves would help me do it. Also, please send me your werewolf book recs?!?

What’s helped you improve the most as a writer? For me, it was reading and creating a near daily pattern of writing, but I’m so curious to hear what you all think?

A trusted CP told me, my characters need a bit more romantic euphoria before I destroy their worlds, which is happy news for a romance writer. You mean I get to write one more chapter of hope and connection? Count me in! I aim to channel Jamie and Claire vibes, but you know, contemporary. 🤞🤞🤞👌👌👌

Doing line edits one chapter a day, but with the chapters out of chronological order. I’ve never done that before, and it helps me focus on the chapter as a whole and really get into the small details. #editing #writergirl #ilovewriting

As it turns out, if you are exhausted, sick, or really sad. Maybe you’ve been crying and feel terrible, editing your book that day might not be a good idea. You can make things worse. Take care you! #WritingCommunity

Current re-read. A younger man age gap romance is quite in vogue these days, but Zora Neale Hurston did it first and Zora Neale Hurston did it best. #WritingCommunity #romancebooks

Katherine Center, I love you! That’s all. Except that, you can get audiobooks from your library. There are a handful of people (I was one of them until recently) who don’t know that and I’m here to tell it on the mountain. Last, the narrator, Marguerite Gavin, is an absolute delight. #Writersky
Book recommendation, Happiness For Beginners, by Katherine Center.

The synopsis for my new romcom is 820 words. If I want to enter the Cheshire novel prize, I’ll need to get it down to 500. How am I going to cut these words?!?

Feeling lost as a querying author… Go back to the stories you create. Go back to the craft you refine. Go back to your community of writers. Go back to reading the books you love. #WritingCommunity

I just spent an hour convincing my husband that I needed to write a romcom where my down and out heroine talks to the mouse in her run down apartment. The mouse (whose name is Neil) eventually talks back and guides her to love. This is a bad idea, right?
